Nola, where did I state that Bush-Dick was solely responsible for rising oil prices over the course of his eight terrible, questionably legitimate years in office?
More to the point is that Bush-Dick, owned by Big Oil, moved slowly to help renewable energy, promoted increased drilling, especially in 1.5 million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (A.N.W.R.), and incompetently regulated the oil industry, as a direct consequence of which, oil drenched the Louisiana coast from April to October.
A.N.W.R. holds about four billion barrels of oil. That would run the United States for about two hundred days. In exchange for seven months of domestic oil, we would run roughshod over a natural mating ground for caribou, greatly risking their survival.
In addition, the oil tankers and oil derricks along the coast would disturb populations of polar bears and greatly damage the maritime life—All that for simply seven months’ worth of oil.
Focus on the future, Nola, not simply on lining the pockets of Big Oil. The future is in renewable energy: solar, wind, & geothermal. The universe supplies us with all the energy we want if we can manage the technology to use it.
Oil has led to the deaths of millions. It is the past. It is ending.
